Wolverine 2 OS thread

Recommended Posts











 

Hugh Jackman’s sixth outing as the mutant superhero proved too much for the competition and as predicted slashed its way through the record books. The global tally including the $55m number one North American debut amounted to $141m.

Approximately 50% of The Wolverine’s total came from 3D screens and overall the result for comparable countries was 51% bigger than X-Men: First Class, 30% bigger thanX-Men: Wolverine and 12% bigger than X-Men: The Last Stand.

In Europe the film took $40.4m and opened top in 30 markets, of which seven delivered the biggest launch of the X-Men franchise.

Russia led the way as it often does these days, generating $10.5m from 2,044 for Fox’s fourth biggest debut after AvatarIce Age 3 and Ice Age 4. France scored $7.4m from 779, the UK $7.1m from 1,250, Germany $3.3m from 599, Spain $2.8m from 731 and Italy $2.1m from 642.

The Wolverine grossed $850,000 in Holland on 110 screens, $752,000 in Sweden on 146 and $736,000 in Belgium on 99.

In the Asia/Pacific region the film generated $26.9m and opened top in all 11 markets, scoring Fox’s biggest opening weekend in five. Australia returned $5.6m from 578, South Korea $5m from 707 and Taiwan $1.4m from 87.

The aggregate Latin American gross amounted to $18.8m as the film became the biggest in the franchise for the region. Brazil generated $6.5m from 806 and Mexico $6.3m from 1,837.

Argentina was the only territory to spoil The Wolverine’s perfect record, returning a number three ranking on $1.7m from 218 behind Metegol and Despicable Me 2.

The Wolverine will continue to roll out in August in a further 25 countries and Japan is the final market in September.

Breaking even at the theaters is fantastic not just ok. 

not really here. its just OK. the merchandise is held by Marvel which is not owned by the studio,. This would've had a huge advertising budget of $100m+ for global mkting

 

ww its headed for 130 + 250 ish thats 380m.

 

Also factor in studio receives less on overseas grosses than domestic. Eg.. china which is going to make up approx 1/5 of the overseas total only gets 25% profit margin versus up to 70% in DOM in the 1st few weeks.

 

overall its just ok nothing brilliant about this one. If the DOM was higher it would be better than OK. Movies with a higher DOM are more profitable.

There was a post RTH wrote about the way theaters and studios split the gross. It's not cut and dry like you wrote above.Movies rarely make profit in theaters. The fact that it will make near break-even is more than "ok."
